Ranking The Mountain Rides At Disney World

Happy New Years!

Today I thought it would be interesting to rank the mountain rides at Disney World. This is just my opinion, so it is completely ok if you do not agree with me.

What are the mountain rides at Disney World? The mountain rides include Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Splash Mountain, Space Mountain, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, and Expedition Everest.

5. In last place, we have Splash Mountain. My main problem with this ride is that you will most likely get VERY wet. I am not a fan of getting wet on a ride. The good news is that Splash Mountain is going to be re-themed to Princess and the Frog!

4. In fourth place we have Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. This ride always has a long line and the ride is so fast. It is only three minutes long. I would enjoy Seven Dwarfs Mine Train better if it was longer. Then, you will feel like it was worth waiting so long in line.

3. In third place, it’s Expedition Everest. This is the only roller coaster on the list that is in Animal Kingdom and not in Magic Kingdom. This ride makes you feel like you are in the mountains and I love all the drops and turns.

2. Next up, we have Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. I really like Big Thunder Mountain. I like how the ride is outside. If you are someone who does not like a lot of drops on a roller coaster, this might be the ride for you. Big Thunder Mountain does not have a lot of drops, but it does have a lot of turns.

My favorite mountain ride is Space Mountain. If you have been reading my blog for a while, you probably saw this coming. I like how this ride is completely in the dark, so you can not see the track in front of you.

I hope you enjoyed this article!

Tron Lightcycle / Run will be coming to Magic Kingdom in the spring of 2023. This ride has been under construction for a long time! I remember construction for this ride started in 2019! Tron Lightcycle / Run will take you on an epic adventure on a lightcycle. This ride was inspired by a similar ride in Shanghai Disneyland.

Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana will be coming to Epcot in late 2023. Journey of Water will allow you to go on a self guided trail that will have water and “rock” formations. You will “learn about the importance of water”.

The Disney Enchantment Fireworks will be replaced with Happily Ever After Fireworks in 2023.

My Favorite Ride In Each Disney World Park

Today, I will be sharing with you my favorite ride in each Disney World park.

First, lets start off at Magic Kingdom! My favorite ride is Space Mountain.

Space Mountain is on the left.

Space Mountain is a roller coaster that is in the dark. I really enjoy this ride because I love roller coasters and on this one, you can not see the track in front of you, so it makes the ride full of suspense!

In Epcot, my favorite ride is Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind.

This ride just opened on May 27, 2022. I have only ridden it a couple of times, but it has quickly become my favorite. The Guardians need your help in order to get the Cosmic Generator back. This is one of the largest fully-enclosed roller coasters in the world.

At Hollywood Studios, I love Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance. On this ride, you will team up with the Resistance and fight against the First Order.

This ride is incredible! My mom does not like Star Wars and she enjoyed this ride. I would really recommend trying Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance because you really feel like you are in the ride.

Finally, we have Animal Kingdom. My favorite ride in Animal Kingdom is Avatar Flight of Passage.

Avatar Flight of Passage is located in The World of Avatar.

On this ride, you will get to fly on the back of a banshee and discover Pandora. This is a really fun ride because it feels relaxing and you feel transported to another world.

These are my favorite rides! Now the real question is, what are your favorite rides in each Disney World park?

This Is What Space Mountain Looks Like With The Lights On

Have you ever wondered what Space Mountain looks like with the lights on?

We were riding the PeopleMover in Magic Kingdom. During the ride, we were able to see Space Mountain with the lights turned on!

This was a big surprise because the lights on Space Mountain are just about ALWAYS off.

Here are some pictures:

Space Mountain looks weird with the lights on!

Ride This Ride If You Want To Get Away From The Crowds In Epcot

There are times that you might just want to get away from the crowds while at Epcot. If so, you should go inside The Land pavilion.

The entire Land pavilion is located inside and while you could ride Soarin’ Around The World, there is always a line for that ride.

Instead, you should ride Living with the Land.

Now, I know this ride is not a super fast roller coaster or a ride that you will be talking about weeks after your trip to Disney World, but it IS a ride that never has a line.

Living with the Land is a slow boat ride that talks about how people for years have been “living with the land.” There is one part of the ride where you will get to see lots of different plants that are actually used in the restaurants at Epcot!

These are Daylily, which is an edible flower.

You will be able to get some really pretty pictures from this ride.

I was in Disney World during the Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival, so there were even more plants that were in Living with the Land.

Don’t forget to also look for all the Hidden Mickeys in this ride!

Can you find the Hidden Mickey in this picture?

I will guarantee you that there will not be a line for this ride or it will only take five minutes to get on this ride. The only time there might be a line is if it is raining outside.

Next time you want to get away from the crowds in Epcot, give Living with the Land a try!

UniversalwithIzzy: The Best Things To Do In The Wizarding World of Harry Potter

In Universal, one of the best places in the parks is definitely The Wizarding World of Harry Potter!

Today I will be telling you some of the best things that The Wizarding World of Harry Potter has to offer!

I would recommend buying your very own interactive wand. These wands can be used in the parks too! When you buy a wand, it comes with a map of the entire world of Harry Potter. You walk over to a spot that was on your map and wave your wand the way it says. Then it starts moving!

You can buy your very own interactive wand at a store called Ollivander’s.

You should take the Hogwarts Express between the two Universal parks.

There are two Harry Potter lands in Universal and if you want to do both you should go on the Hogwarts Express. The inside of the train looks just like the magical train that was in the Harry Potter movies!

You will have to get on the train at Kings Cross Station at Universal Studios and then get off at Hogsmeade Station in Islands of Adventure. I would also recommend riding the train the other way around too because the experience is different.

You should go to Weasley’s Wizard Wheezes!

This is the exact same store from the Harry Potter books that was owned by Fred and George Weasley. This is a great store to look around in and some of the snacks from this store are the same snacks that are talked about in the books!

I would recommend riding Harry Potter and the Escape From Gringotts. Escape From Gringotts is an indoor roller coaster ride in Diagon Alley. I also really like the cue for this ride.

Another great roller coaster is Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure. In my opinion, this is one of the best rides in all of Universal Studios. This roller coaster is outside and goes really fast, so if you are someone who does not like super fast roller coasters, this might not be the ride for you.

Don’t forget to pay close attention to the dragon in Diagon Alley. There is a dragon on top of the Harry Potter and the Escape From Gringotts ride that, every ten minutes, breathes fire!

I hope that this article helps you have a great time while in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter!

What Is Better: Spinning Rides Edition

Today I thought it would be fun if I talked about which is better out of the spinning rides in Universal Studios and Disney World: One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish, or Twirl ‘n’ Hurl, or The Magic Carpets of Aladdin, or Dumbo. On all four of these rides you can control how high you want to be. This is just my opinion, so it is totally ok if you do not agree with me.

In last place we have Twirl ‘n’ Hurl in Universal Studios. This is a Simpsons themed ride where you have been kidnapped by aliens. I personally find this one a little boring because compared to the other rides on this list the view isn’t that amazing.

Next, we have Dumbo in Magic Kingdom. On this ride you get to ride on a flying Dumbo! The view on this ride is great because you can see Cinderella’s Castle.

In second place we have One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish in Universal Studios. This ride is interesting because the fishes on the side of the ride will squirt water at you!

My favorite spinning ride is The Magic Carpets of Aladdin in Magic Kingdom. You get a great view of Adventureland from this ride and I find The Magic Carpets of Aladdin to be very relaxing.

That was my list. Now the real question is: how would you rank these rides?

Guardians Of The Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind

Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is a new ride located in Epcot.

If you haven’t ridden this ride yet, then don’t worry because this guide to Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind has no spoilers.

In this ride you will meet the members of the Nova Corps and learn about the technology that they use, but, something goes wrong. The Guardians of the Galaxy will need your help.

At one point during the roller coaster, you will hear either “September” by Earth, Wind & Fire, “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” by Tears for Fears, “Conga” by Gloria Estefan, “One Way or Another” by Blondie, “I Ran” by A Flock of Seagulls, or “Disco Inferno” by The Trammps.

I really enjoyed this roller coaster, but I will warn you that it can be VERY INTENSE. If you are someone who isn’t a big fan of roller coasters, you might want to sit this one out.

Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure Review

Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure is a new ride in the France pavilion !

In this ride, you will go along side Chef Remy and see everything from a rats point of view. You will get to see the kitchen, dining room, and walls of Gusteau’s restaurant.

I really enjoyed how this entire ride feels like an adventure. You feel like you are right there next to Remy.

My only complaint is that I feel like during the ride we are staring at screens too much. Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure is a 4D ride, which means that the whole time you are wearing glasses. This can get very annoying and at some parts of the ride I just wanted to take off my glasses because I was tired of wearing them.

I give Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure 4 Mickey Bars!

Al’s Ranking of 5 Spinner Attractions

Today we are going to rank 5 spinner attractions at Universal Studios Orlando and Disney World.

5. The Magic Carpets of Aladdin in Magic Kingdom. I feel like the carpet ride isn’t great. When I’m on the ride, I don’t feel too much like I’m on a magic carpet.

4. Dumbo the Flying Elephant in Magic Kingdom. A cool ride that you can pick your elephant and the elephant flies like Dumbo.

3. Kang and Kodos’ Twirl ‘n’ Hurl in Universal Studios Orlando. I like the theme that the monster catches you and makes you do stuff.

2. TriceraTop Spin in Animal Kingdom. I like dinosaurs and it is related to the Dinosaur ride. I like how it can be tilted.

1. One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish in Islands of Adventure. This is my favorite spinner ride. I like how you can get wet and it gives you directions to not get wet.
